Things I look for before refilling my Chili Garlic Sauce
Price
The chili garlic available in the market usually cost around Rs 160 to Rs 180 from 400 gram pouches. The glass variants may cost a little more but I would definitely be okay in paying little extra bucks to demote plastic wastage.
Packaging Options
I like brands which offer at least more than two packaging options, in terms of sizes and types of bottle. This helps me make mindful decisions, for example I buy a family size which lasts for a longer period of time and it helps me save some bucks, or use eco-friendly glass containers to support our environment.
Inclusivity
I am all in for inclusivity so brands coming up with gluten free and sweeter variants makes me happy. It makes me try, and encourage their efforts even if I do not like the taste.
